Planned Action Ordinance Mitigation Document
TheState Environmental Policy Act (SEPA)requires environmentalreview for project and non-
project proposals that mayhaveadverseimpactsonthe environment.
In order to meet SEPA requirements, GrantCountyIssuedthe DraftGCIA Employment Center
Planned Action Environmental Impact Statement onJune 26,2015,andthe final Environmental
Impact Statement on ,2015.The Draft Environmental Impact Statement andthe Final
Environmental Impact Statementare reverenced collectively hereinasthe "EIS".The EIS has
identified significant impacts that would occurwiththe future development ofthe Planned
Action area,together witha numberof possible measuresto mitigate those significant impacts.
This Mitigation Document lists the specific mitigation measures identified in the EIS,based upon
the identified significant impacts.TheEIS considerspotential impacts associatedwith:Earth,
Water Resources,Plantsand Animals,Environmental Health,Air Quality and Greenhouse Gases
(GHGs),Noise,Land Use/Relationship to Plans and Policies,Aesthetics/Light and Glare,Historic
and Cultural Resources,Transportation,PublicServices and Utilities.
The mitigation measures wouldapply to future development proposalswhich are consistent
with the EIS and located within the Planned Action area (see ExhibitA).Please see the Draft and
Final EIS for complete text associated with each element of the environment.
Earth
Required/Proposed Mitigation Measures
The following required/proposed mitigation measures will address the potential earth-
related impacts that could result from the construction and long-term use of Alternatives 1
or 2.
Prior to and During Construction
•Site-specific subsurface investigations and geotechnical analyses will be performed
as part of design and permitting of infrastructure and buildings associated with
future site development.
• During construction,TESC measures and BMPs will be employed to control erosion.
These measures could include the following:
o Limit areas ofexposure;
o Schedule earthwork during drier times of the year;
o Retain vegetation where possible;
o Seed or plant appropriate vegetation on exposed areas as soon as
earthwork is completed;
o Route surface water through temporary drainage channels around and
awayfromdisturbedsoilsor exposed slopes;

•
n r
o Intercept and drain water from any surface seeps, ifencountered;
o Usesiltfences,temporary sedimentation ponds, or other suitable
sedimentation control devices to collect and retain eroded material;
o Coverexposed soilstockpiles and exposed slopes with plasticsheeting,as
appropriate;
o Usestraw mulch and erosion control matting to stabilizegradedareasand
reduce erosionand runoff impactsto slopes,where appropriate;
o Incorporatecontract provisionsallowingtemporary cessation of work under
certain, limited circumstances, if weather conditions warrant;and
o Constructstabilized constructionentrances with rockpadsortruckwashing
stations to limitexcess soilmaterials from leavingthe site.During the
appropriate dry seasons,wherever possible, soils excavated from the site
would be reused as on-site structural fill.
Standard constructionmeasures,such properly designedand installed temporary
excavation shoring systems,and properly constructed open excavations,willbe
used to reduce the potential for adverse excavation impacts.
Any necessary fill willbe designed to control potential settlement impacts at
adjacent structures/surfaces.As necessary,adjacent structures/surfaces will be
monitored during construction to verify that no adverse settlement occurs.
Ifdrilled shafts are used to support buildings,they willinclude casingto control
cavingsoils. As necessary,adjacent structures/surfaces will be monitored to verify
that no adverse settlement and vibrations occur.
The appropriate management ofcontaminated soils that could be disturbed and
groundwaterthat could be encountered during redevelopment of the site willbe
addressed through the cleanup/remediation process and by institutional control
requirements overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)(see Draft EIS
Section 3.5,Environmental Health,for details).
Buildingsand infrastructure will be designed in accordance with the most current
version ofthe International BuildingCode (IBC)to address potential life safety
impacts from seismic events.
Purina Operations
• A permanent stormwatercontrol system will be installed in accordance with the
Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology)Stormwater Management

Air Quality/GHG Emissions
Required/Proposed Mitigation Measures
Thefollowing required/proposed mitigation measures will address the potential air
quality/GHG-related impacts that could result from the construction and long-term use of
Alternatives 1 or 2.
Prior to and Purina Construction
• Asnecessary,construction contractors will prepare and implement air quality
control plans for construction activities at the site. These plans will feature BMPsto
control fugitive dust and odors emitted by diesel-fired construction equipment,and
could include:
o Use water sprays orother non-toxic dust control methods on unpaved
roadways;
o Minimize vehicle speed while traveling on unpaved surfaces;
o Prevent track-out of mud onto public streets;
o Cover soil piles when practical;
o Minimize work during periods of high winds when practical;
o Maintain the engines ofconstruction equipment according to
manufacturers'specifications;and
o Minimize idling of equipment while the equipment is not in use.
• As necessary,if there is regular heavy traffic during some periods ofthe day during
construction,haul traffic will be scheduled during off-peak times (e.g.,between 9:00
AM and 4:00 PM)to minimize the effect on traffic and mitigate indirect increases in
traffic-related emissions.
• Burning of slash or demolition debris will not be permitted without approval from
Ecology.
• As required by Ecology, any future development that could potentially cause an
increase of criteria ortoxic air pollutant emissions that will exceed exemption
threshold levels specified in WAC173-400-110 or WAC173-460-150 will obtain a
Notice of Construction Approval order prior to construction and use best available
control technology (BACT)on stationary equipment to minimize emissions.
Purina Operations
•As possible,trip-reduction and energy conservation measures will be provided to
reduce GHG reductions.
Aspossible,GHG emission reductions will be achieved by using building design and
construction methods that incorporate recycled construction materials,reduce
space heating and electricity usage,incorporate renewable energy sources and
reduce water consumption and waste generation (see Appendix Fto the Draft EIS
for further possible mitigation measures to reduce GHG emissions).

Noise
Required/Proposed Mitigation Measures
The following required/proposed mitigation measures will address the potential noise
impacts that could result from the assumed construction and long-term useunder
Alternatives 1 or 2.
Prior to and Purina Construction
•Nighttime construction will not be allowed without approval from the local agencies
(City ofMoses Lake orGrant County).Local regulations do not regulate noise from
daytime construction activities.Regardless,based on site-specific considerations at
the time ofconstruction permit review,construction contractors could be required
to implement noise control plans forconstruction activities in thesiteareafor
daytime activities.
•As appropriate,construction noise will be reduced by using enclosures orwalls to
surround noisy stationary equipment,installing mufflers on engines,substituting
quieter equipment or construction methods,minimizing time of operation and
locating equipment as far as practical from sensitive receivers.To reduce
construction noise at nearby receivers,the following mitigation measures could be
incorporated into construction plans and contractor specifications.
o Locate stationary equipment away from receiving properties;
GCIA Employment Center-Planned Action Ordinance
GrantCounty

o Erect portable noise barriers around loud stationary equipment located
near sensitive receivers;
o Limitconstruction activities to between 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM on weekdays
and between 9:00 AM and 6:00 PM on weekends and holidays to avoid
sensitive receptors during nighttime hours;
o Turn off idling construction equipment;and,
o Require contractors to rigorously maintain ail equipment.
Purina Operations
•Industrial Noise Sources -Future industrial operation will be required to comply
with the applicable noise regulations which establish permissible noise levels from
industrial noise sources at receiving off-site properties.
•Traffic Noise Sources -Development exceeding approximately 94 percent of
assumed full development under Alternative 1 and exceeding 85 percent of
assumed full development under Alternative 2, will require mitigation to limit
increased traffic noise on Randolph Road from significantly impacting Columbia
Basin Secondary School.Mitigation measures could include:
o Limiting traffic on Randolph Road to a level not exceeding 94 percent of
total assumed trips under Alternative 1 and 85 percent of total assumed
trips under Alternative 2;or,
o Construction of a noise barrier between the school and Randolph Road as
the levelof traffic on Randolph Road approaches 94 percent of total
assumed trips under Alternative 1 and 85 percent of total assumed trips
under Alternative 2.
Land Use

impacts on aesthetics from new development (e.g., maximum building height,
buildingsite coverage,separation of buildings,landscapingand visualscreening).
• ADevelopment Agreement could be executed between the County,Port,City and
other property owners at the site. Thisagreement could specifythe standards and
conditions that would govern development of the site.
•
•
•
AMaster Plan couldbe developedforthe site for reviewand approvalbythe
County,Port and City.This plan could contain more definitive information on site
development,infrastructure,parking,and landscaping,and could represent a more
cohesive and predictable concept for development of the site.
Historic and Cultural Resources
Required/Proposed Mitigation Measures
The following required/proposed mitigation measures will address the potential impacts to
historic and cultural resources thatcould result from the construction and long-term use of
Alternatives 1 or 2.
Prior to and Purina Construction
Formal consultation with Tribes in Washington State will be initiated to determine
which Tribes have an interest in the site.
Aprotocol/checklist for review of projects that includes a form letterforthe
Washington State Department ofArchaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP)will
be established.
Cultural resources surveys will be conducted prior tospecific development actions.
The historical significance of structures within the site that are over 50 years old will
bedocumented and evaluated prior tospecific development actions.
Consideration will begiven toestablishing a team to manage thecritical area
designation ofarchaeological sites.The team could be responsible for data
management andconsultation with Tribes,agencies,developers and/orother
GCIA EmploymentCenter-PlannedAction Ordinance
Grant County 17
•
stakeholders.Amember ofthe team could be assigned to search for grants and
otherfunding sources in order to begin collecting data to improve the
understanding of precontact land use at the site.
Consideration will be given to establishing a heritage program that will help guide
development by incorporating a heritage theme in the GCIA Employment Center.
Consideration willbe given to partnering with existing businesses or agencies (e.g.,
Port of Moses Lake,ASPI Group) with a strong interest in history, and which likely
maintain good historical records.
Should any potentially significant archaeological or historic sites be encountered
during development of the proposal that could not be avoided,impacts could
potentially be minimized by measures including:
o Limiting the magnitude ofthe proposed work;
o Modifying proposed development through redesign or reorientation to
minimize or avoid further impacts to resources;
o Rehabilitation,restoration or repair of affected resources;
o Preserving and maintaining operations for any involved significant historic
structures;
o Archaeological monitoring,testing or data recovery excavations;and/or
o Documentation of historic elements ofthe built environment through
photographs,drawings and narrative,at the appropriate level based upon
DAHP standards.
Inthe event that ground disturbing or other activities result in the inadvertent
discovery of archaeological deposits,work willbe halted in the immediate area and
DAHP will be contacted.Work will be halted until such time as further investigation
and appropriate consultation is concluded.
•In the unlikely event ofthe inadvertent discovery of human remains,workwill be
immediatelyhalted inthe area, the discovery coveredand secured againstfurther
disturbance, and contact made with lawenforcement personnel,consistent withthe
provisions set forth in RCW 27.44.055 and RCW 68.60.055.
Transportation
Required/Proposed Mitigation Measures
The needed roadway configuration and intersection control will change with increased
employment atthe site,regardless ofwhether that employment is related to development
under Alternative 1or2.The following required/proposed mitigation measureswill address
thepotential transportation-related impacts that could result from development under
Alternatives 1 or 2.
Pre-Pevelopment Activities
•Prior to development,an implementation andfunding plan forthe phased
transportation mitigation package will be prepared.If no funding plan is executed,

thenall developments will be responsible fortheir pro-rate shareoftransportation
improvements.
Grant County will partnerwiththe City of Moses Lake and WSDOT to perform
detailed studyofthe SR 17/Stratford Road NE interchange.
Transportation Improvements
•
•
Intersections will be improved per the threshold guidance listed inTable B-l.The
potential North Access Road can be deferred untildevelopment reaches
approximately9,500 employees.
Stratford Road NE andSR 17 will bewidened,as needed,between and adjacent to
improved intersections to increase capacity (seeguidance in Figure B-l and Figure
B-2).
Truck movements willbe provided for at all new roundabouts and intersections.
The Port,City and County will work with Grant Transit Authority to extend existing
routesfrom Big Bend Community College to the site,orto establishnewroutes
when demand warrants.
Pedestrian facilitieswill be constructed on at least one side of the new roads
developedforthe project.Theoptimallocationfor new crosswalks at intersections
will be assessed during the design ofthoseimprovements.
Public Services
Required/Proposed Mitigation Measures
The following required/proposed mitigation measures will address the potential impacts on
public services (police service and fire and emergency medical service)that could result
fromthe construction and long-term useofAlternatives 1or2.
Police Services
•On-site security will be provided during construction to reduce the potential for
construction-related incidents.Such measures could include fencing and securing
areas where construction equipment isstored onsite.
•Traffic control measures will be provided for construction vehicles and equipment
during the construction process and traffic mitigation measures will be provided to
minimize theoperational traffic impacts ofthe GCIA Employment Center (see Draft
EIS Section 3.10,Transportation,for details).
Fire and Emergency Services
•Construction worker safety measures will be implemented during development on
thesite,in accordance with applicable Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA)standards.
GCIA Employment Center-PlannedAction Ordinance
Grant County 19
•All new buildings on the GCIA Employment Centersite will be constructed in
compliance with applicable International BuildingCode and International FireCode
requirements and standards,as adopted by Grant County and the City of Moses
Lake.
Other mitigation measures that will be implemented to address impacts on public services
include:
• A portion ofthe tax revenues generated from future development ofthe GCIA
Employment Centersite will help to offset the increased demands for police and fire
services.
•Increased demand for police and fire services from future development willalso be
addressed by Grant County and City of Moses Lake capital facilities planning
processes and the planning processes of Grant County Sheriffs Office,Moses Lake
Police Department,Grant County Fire District #5 and Moses Lake Fire Department.
Utilities
Required/Proposed Mitigation Measures
The following required/proposed mitigation measures will address the potential utility
impactsassociated withdevelopment ofthe GCIA Employment Center site under
Alternatives 1 and 2.
Water
• The Larson zone of the City of Moses Lake watersystem has adequate capacityto
accommodate a levelof development between Phase 1 and Phase 2 under
Alternative1 (approximately 3 million sq.ft.) and a level ofdevelopment between
Phase 2 and Phase 3 under Alternative 2 (approximately 5 millionsq. ft.), includinga
two percent background growth factor.However,additional water system wells will
need to be drilled to serve full build-out of Alternative 1,and will likely be necessary
for fullbuild-out of Alternative2 (Alternative2 will use most of the existingcapacity
ofthe Larson zone).
• TheCity will monitorwaterdemand byscreening developmentapplications to
determine anticipated generation rates for development. TheoverallCity system is
projected to have capacity to meetthe Larson zone water needs and will provide a
supply buffer as plans are developed for well drilling and expansion ofthe Larson
zonesupplyand distribution systemonce developmentdemand approachessystem
capacity.
Sanitary Sewer
• TheCity ofMosesLake Larson Treatment Planthascapacity to treat a level of
assumed development between Phase 2 and Phase 3 under Alternative 1
(approximately five million sq.ft.)and an assumedlevel ofsitedevelopment
between Phase 1 and Phase 2 under Alternative 2 (approximately 3.5 million sq. ft.),

including a two percent background growth factor.However,the City will require an
increase in treatment capacity to accommodate flows associated with full build-out
of both alternatives.
The City will monitorthe sewagetreatment capacity byscreening development
applications to determineanticipatedsewagegeneration ratesforthe proposed
development.TheCity will monitorprojectedincoming flows throughthe screening
process and begin plansfor expansion when the facilityreaches 80 percent capacity,
which isanticipated to occuraround 2024 (see Draft EIS Figure 3.12-3).
The Portof Moses Lake industrial wastewatertreatment system hassomecapacity
to treat additionalvolumesof industrial wastewater.ThePort ispresently designing
an expansionofthe land application systemthat isprojected to meet the projected
demands ofsubscribedusers,and alsomeet the demands projectedfor Phase1of
Alternative 2.However,additional expansionofthe system beyond the current
planned expansion willbe required to fullyaccommodate Phase 1 of Alternative1
and full build-out of both Alternatives 1 and 2.
GCPUD canaccommodate incremental newdevelopment with powerdemand loads
thattotal less than5 MW.However,newindustries moving into thesitethat have
power demands in excess of5 MWs will berequired toenterinto a "Facility Cost
Contribution"arrangement with GCPUD,the proceeds ofwhich are used toexpand
theelectrical distribution system infrastructure tothe extent required toserve the
industrycontributor.GCPUD has indicatedthat a newsubstation will havethe
capacity to serve anapproximately 78 MW electrical load,which is large enough to
accommodate build-out underAlternatives 1 and 2.
